The "DaBooda Turbo" 2D game engine has finally reached version 1.4. This new version includes an impressive list of new features some of which have probably never been seen in a 2D engine before.
Among the new features are:  Added resource class that will allow you to put all your resources in one file with password encryption  Added many mouse features, even hovering capabilities as well as using sprites as pointers.  Added a cool vertex system, that basically lets you handle a group of sprites as if they where a 3d object, too cool.  Added catches for fullscreen and windowed lost focus, no more errors.  Added a new render style option that uses the DX8 Sprite class instead of the strip style, looks alot better.  Added two commands that allow you to choose how textures will be rendered to the screen.  Added an actual viewport, so now you can set the screen to any size in fullscreen mode.  Added A counter class that will allow you to use multiple 2 looped counters that you can apply to any property in the engine, this reduces game programming to nothing almost.  Added 2 more sprite collision detections, rect and polygon.  Added a multiple sound buffer system, now more than one instance of a single sound can play.  Added many fetures to the text, which now allows for up to 16 fonts on the screen as well as alignment methods with make formating way easier.  Added many more QM's to the overlays and sprites that now allow you to spread a color amongst multiple objects, as well as aligning many objects.
